SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 733,012, dated July 7,1903.

Application filed October 6, 1902. Serial No. 126,150. (No model.)

T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. COMPTON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Burners; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full,olear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to lamp-burners, and particularly to that kindthereof in which a secondary or superior glass cone is used above Fig. 2is a vertical cross-section thereof, and

Fig. 3 is a top view of the cap alone.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 in dicates the perforatedbase-plate of the burner, through which the wick-tube 7 extends and towhich the cap Sis hinged. The base-plate is extended, as at 6 to formthe gallery for the chimney. The cap 8 is formed with an annular rim 8to support the glass cone 9, which may be formed in 'two or more piecesto allow for expansion. The rim is formed by bending up the lower edgeof the cap, and the cap and rim may be stamped from one piece, or therim may be attached to the cap by tongue-and-slot or other suitableconnection adapted to the material and construe tion. In the drawingsthe cap and rim are indicated as formed as one piece. At the bend orjoint of the cap with the rim openand requires no independent support.Air

is fed to the flame inside the cap through the perforations in thebase-plate, between the cap and the cone through the openings 8, andabove the cone through the outer perforations in the gallery. The capcan be made at very little greater cost than an ordinary cap and asimple and cheap bu rner is formed.

What I claim is In a lam p-burner, the combination with the perforatedbase extended outwardly to form a chimney-gallery, and the wick-tube, ofthe cap and the glass cone, the cap having an upturned annular rim atthe outer edge, on top ofwhich the cone rests, and openings in the rimadmitting air between the cap and cone, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
